[quote=Anonymous]There is a huge difference between buying a house that needs some repairs in the short term that will total a few thousand dollars and buying a house that the inspector anticipates will need $50k worth of work within 5 years. The offer on the house most likely would have been lower to begin with if that had been known at the outset, so of course negotiations ensue. Appliances and materials that are produced today are intentionally built to crap out much sooner than they used to be. If the inspector looks at a 15 year old roof with damaged and curling shingles and says "you're looking at replacement in 5 years", I have no reason not to believe that. Once upon a time that would have been eye opening, but no more. [/quote]
